E. Wyrzykiewicz et G. Bartkowiak, ALKYLATION IN ELECTRON-IMPACT MASS-SPECTROMETRY OF HYDROBROMIDES OF 2-ALKYLTHIOOROTIC ACIDS, Organic mass spectrometry, 29(1), 1994, pp. 50-54
The mass spectral fragmentations of eight 2-alkylthioorotic acids and
their hydrobromides were investigated. Fragmentation pathways, the elu
cidation of which was assisted by accurate mass measurements and metas
table transitions, are proposed. It was found that there is evidence i
n the electron impact mass spectra of the hydrobromides of 2-alkylthio
orotic acids of intermolecular transfer of an alkyl group.
